[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 708250, member: 1550"] The military is not for anyone who cant take direction. My hub is a ten year vet. Your life belongs to them and you cant whine or deviate. Only if somebody is able to put aside what they want to do and do well what is expected of you, it doesnt work. Many dont make it out of boot camp. A niece of mine was in the navy...many who started with her never finished boot camp. She was one of only 21 graduates and it had been a big class. I think that you have to go into it because you want to serve at all cost or it wont end well. A dishorable discharge is not good on ones record. You also have to be mentally stable enough to survive combat if you are sent into it, and I dont know if anyone is, really, let alone our struggling adult children. My husband was never sent into combat, but there are no guarantees. Plus he was ready to go,if sent. Im glad he didnt. It would have changed him and not for tje better. We know vets of all ages because of vet organizations he is in. The combat vets do tje absolute worst. Mental illness, disability, suicide, homelessness...you name it...it is sad. And those dont count the ones who did not survive. Just a bit of my trivial opinion. Be glad your adult kids are safe from combat. [/QUOTE]
